High Cascade Photo Workshop. I have so much to say about how amazing the last week was that I don't know what to say about it! What is High Cascade Photo Workshop? According to the website,
""The goal at the HCSC photo workshop is to expose our campers to a concentrated look at a professional career as a snowboard photographer. Students will learn about basic camera operation, flash photography, digital workflow, and the business of being a “photog”. The class includes a “night shoot” on the world class High Cascade facilities where students actual shoot the amazing shots they see in the magazines."
After sacrificing an arm and a leg to go to this thing, I was sure hoping that it would be worth my precious savings. It was worth every penny. We spent early mornings sitting in lectures about composition, Tim's impressive knowledge about Lightroom, and even how to submit proper packages to our favorite magazines for publishing. It didn't hurt that we were learning from the best of the best. Instructors included Trevor Graves, Andy Wright, Tim Zimmerman, Christy Chaloux, and guests Bud Fawcett and Cole Barash. There's a lot that goes into the business of being a snowboard photographer, and I was soaking up every moment of it.
The culmination of the workshop was a night shoot in which we spent an entire day on the hill at Mt. Hood, had a BBQ, and ended with a sunset shoot. We used ProFoto 7B kits (something I couldn't dream of having at the moment) for lighting, and watched riders shred into the alpenglow sky. It was truly an amazing experience. I feel so honored to have gotten to work with such professionals, and I'm so happy to have made connections with riders and photogs all over the country.

Also, sponsor Studio Nemo was kind enough to post the final student slideshow on their blog. Check it out here.
Enjoy! :D
